Anyone tried adding one of these to a laptop or desktop lcd monitor?

For an application I'm considering I would like to put one of these on top of a piece of glass with the screen on the other side - there shouldn't be any problem doing that should there (assuming I can figure a way to mount it)?

Wow, that bad huh? I'm trying to repurpose a laptop and not spend $200-300 on a touchscreen.

If you only want to hit 4 giant icons...it will work. those "overlays" are for very low resolution Point of Sale programs. Think McD's

Even with the real ones, try it for a bit.

I keep wanting to want this, but each time I spend just 5 minutes with it at the store, I don't like it.

Smudges all over the screen and it just doesn't work all that usefully. I do a faster more accurate job with the mouse.
